Hi Lars, Form Wizard Pro does save all submissions in the database, and they can be manually retrieved in CSV or Word format. There are two problems I see with an automated mailing and processing idea. First is the general unreliability of email these days, and the second is that the generated CSV file from Form Wizard Pro contains all submissions until it's cleared, so you'd be receiving duplicates in that email, until someone went in and cleared the submissions. This one could probably be worked around, however (keying on submitted date/time, for instance).

In any case, if you are hosting your own mojoPortal server (or have database access through your hosting service), and depending on your mojoPortal database of choice, you might be able to set up a direct connection from your processing server to the mojoPortal database, and periodically check for new posts and pull the form submission data straight from the database. That would offer a lot of advantages and is the method I would use, if possible.

As a really advanced idea, you might even be able to use replication to duplicate that form submission data automatically on your processing server.

I think to meet this kind of scenario what is really needed is for me to implement an event and a plugin system so you can write a plugin to handle the event, like a FormSubmittedEvent. Something similar to what we have in mojoPortal currently for UserRegisteredEventHandlers.

I do think trying to process it from an email notification is a messy solution prone to problems, with an event you can get access to the submitted form object and its questions/responses and do whatever processing you need.

I will add a wish list item for this in my project tracker for Form Wizard Pro.

Hi Lars,

fyi, Form Wizard Pro 2.6 is now available and includes a new event handler plugin system that allows developers to easily implement custom handlers to do additional processing on the submitted form data.

Best,

Joe
